Last summer’s Carlton Complex Fire destroyed more than 300 homes as it blackened an area of 400 square miles—four times the size of Seattle. Homes and businesses that took a lifetime to build were wiped out in minutes. FEMA twice rejected our claims for individual assistance. And the majority of private foundations involved in disaster relief and recovery also place an “unmistakable emphasis on immediate relief”—by a factor of four to one, according to a 2014 study. That’s why we’re relying on you—our neighbors, friends, and friends we haven't met yet—to fund our recovery effort. Please help us rebuild 40 homes for people who can't rebuild on their own.Click to go directly to our secure online giving page.
